Rep. Cuellar Questions Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao During Defense Budget Hearing

Published | Video Starts at 03:59

I graduated from the Navy Ward College last year, and I saw some of the Mexican officers and some of the Latin America. But if we can do more of that, that would be good. Got about a minute left. Mexico for the first time, and we mentioned this to the Secretary, has allowed Special Forces and I believe seals to actually go to Mexico, be stationed there, do training, and maybe do some joint operations. I mean, not joint operations. I wish they would do joint operations, but do a little bit more. The more you can get our Mexican folks to engage will be very, very important to. (03:59–04:15)
